Annie’s Holiday German Pancake

Prep Time:	10 min
Cooking Time:	20 min
Servings:	8 people

Ingredients:

3 tablespoons butter
¾ cup whole milk
3 eggs
¼ cup sugar
½ cup all purpose flour
½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Plus any desired toppings

Directions:

1) Preheat oven to 425.
2) Heat a cast-iron pan enough to melt the butter, then set aside.
3) Beat eggs with a hand blender, then incorporate milk, flour, salt, vanilla, and sugar. Blend until foamy, about 1 minute. Pour batter into skillet and put in the oven.
4) Bake until sides puff up around the edge of the pan and turn golden brown. 15-20 minutes. Ideally, you want the sides to be crispy and the middle soft.
5) Cut like a pizza (so everyone gets the beloved crispy crust). Top with maple syrup, fresh lemon juice and powdered sugar, cardamom (this makes it extra Christmassy), or fresh fruit/fruit preserves - whatever suits your fancy.
